Re: Would a new SITE (and brand name) be valuable

Hello Rene & all,
I fully will support any attempts for a centraliced (and managed)
www.netrexx.org site.
I will, hoever, than have to 'change' all of my package instructions.

Currently, for my (new, under development) stuff, im am using

package Rey.RT -- for the Run-time (was formerly Rexx2Nrx.Rexx2RT)
package Rey.PP.Rexx -- for the Rexx Parser
package Rey.PP.PLI -- for the PLI Parser
package Rey.PP.CBL --- for the COBOL Parser

package Rex.PP.Gen -- for the Program Generator stuff

etc.

When we centralize this, that should of course become:
package org.NetRexx.Rey.RT etc, etc

At the current minute, I will stay on the convention indicated above.
But I think we should continue to re-use Rene's expereince from his ABN-AMRO
work in manigaing very large projects, hence I will wait with any final
release and decision
until we all agree on the new package structure needed ...

I will now, as a first step, try to get NetRexxDE and NetRexxScript
running on my machine,
and try it out for my own -- now totally NetRexx based -- development work.

I will keep in touch.

I am also copying ibm-netrexx in this discussion, as I heard this group
is rather small and
interested to be kept informed in any progrss we make together.

Kind regards from dark Vienna,
Tom.
